Raring to go once again

The 29-year-old has enjoyed a storming start to the campaign, managing to notch seven goals in eight games in all competition. He was expected to be a certain starter for the clash with current Premier League champions Chelsea before the international break before the incident.

Agüero had been granted a day off and visitedAmsterdam to attend a concert in the Dutch capital. It is believed that the striker was returning to the airport when the taxi he was travelling in collided with a pillar, breaking one of his ribs in the process.

Picking up another accolade

City coped just fine in Agüero's absence at Stamford Bridge as they arguably put in the performance of their campaign thus far with a 1-0 win over Antonio Conte's side.

That win rounded off a scintillating September which has seen City bossGuardiola rewarded with the Premier League Manager of the Month award.

It has been a storming start to the Guardiola's second campaign in charge of The Citizens as they sit joint-top of the table leading rivals Manchester United on goal difference. Like United, City are still remain unbeaten - winning all four of their matches in September and scoring an astonishing 17 goals.
